In this paper, a new method of phoneme segmentation of handwritten Korean characters using the local graph pattern is proposed. At first, thinning was performed before extracting features. End-point, inflexion-point, branch-point and cross-point were extracted as features. Using these features and the angular relations between these features, local graph pattern was made. When local graph pattern is made, the of strokes is investigated on contacting point. From this process, pattern is simplified as contacting pattern of the basic form and the contacting form we must take into account can be restricted within fixed region, 4therefore phoneme segmentation not influenced by characters form and any other contact in a single character is performed as matching this local graph pattern with base patterns searched ahead. This experiments with 540 characters have been conducted. From the result of this experiment, it is shown that phoneme segmentation is independent of characters form and other contact in a single character to obtain a correct segmentation rate of 95%, manages it efficiently to reduce the time spent in lock operation when the lock.

영상 처리를 통한 특징 추출은 영상 검색, 객체 인식, 영상 인덱싱을 포함하는 다양한 분야에서 전처리 과정으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히, 영상 질감 분석에서는 질감 특성 추출을 더 용이하게 하기 위해 질감의 대비를 증가시키는 방법을 사용한다. 생체 현미경 영상에서 두드러진 질감중의 하나는 주름이며 주름의 특징은 노화 관련 응용에 유용한 정보를 다양하게 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 피부 영상에서 나이 관련 특징을 추출하는 기존 방법을 개선하여 피부 나이 측정의 정확도를 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

Improving practicality of SLAM requires various sensors to be fused effectively in order to cope with uncertainty induced from both environment and sensors. In this case, combining sonar and vision sensors possesses numerous advantages of economical efficiency and complementary cooperation. Especially, it can remedy false data association and divergence problem of sonar sensors, and overcome low frequency SLAM update caused by computational burden and weakness in illumination changes of vision sensors. In this paper, we propose a SLAM method to join sonar sensors and stereo camera together. It consists of two schemes, extracting robust point and line features from sonar data and recognizing planar visual objects using multi-scale Harris corner detector and its SIFT descriptor from pre-constructed object database. And fusing sonar features and visual objects through EKF-SLAM can give correct data association via object recognition and high frequency update via sonar features. As a result, it can increase robustness and accuracy of SLAM in indoor environment. The performance of the proposed algorithm was verified by experiments in home -like environment.

Application (app) ratings are feedback provided voluntarily by users and serve as important evaluation criteria for apps. However, these ratings can often be biased owing to insufficient or missing votes. Additionally, significant differences have been observed between numeric ratings and user reviews. This study aims to predict the numeric ratings of Google apps using machine learning classifiers. It exploits numeric app ratings provided by users as training data and returns authentic mobile app ratings by analyzing user reviews. An ensemble learning model is proposed for this purpose that considers term frequency/inverse document frequency (TF/IDF) features. Three TF/IDF features, including unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams, were used. The dataset was scraped from the Google Play store, extracting data from 14 different app categories. Biased and unbiased user ratings were discriminated using TextBlob analysis to formulate the ground truth, from which the classifier prediction accuracy was then evaluated. The results demonstrate the high potential for machine learning-based classifiers to predict authentic numeric ratings based on actual user reviews.

The study is an image-based assessment that uses image processing techniques to determine the condition of concrete with surface cracks. The preparations of the dataset include resizing and image filtering to ensure statistical homogeneity and noise reduction. The image dataset is then segmented, making it more suited for extracting important features and easier to evaluate. The image is transformed into grayscale which removes the hue and saturation but retains the luminance. To create a clean edge map, the edge detection process is utilized to extract the major edge features of the image. The Otsu method is used to minimize intraclass variation between black and white pixels. Additionally, the median filter was employed to reduce noise while keeping the borders of the image. Image processing techniques are used to enhance the significant features of the concrete image, especially the defects. In this study, the tonal zones of the histogram and its properties are used to analyze the condition of the concrete. By examining the histogram, the viewer will be able to determine the information on the image through the number of pixels associated and each tonal characteristic on a graph. The features of the five tonal zones of the histogram which implies the qualities of the concrete image may be evaluated based on the quality of the contrast, brightness, highlights, shadow spikes, or the condition of the shadow region that corresponds to the foreground.

Recently there are many researches of text mining to find interesting patterns or association rules from mass textual documents. However, the words extracted from informal documents are tend to be irregular and there are too many general words, so if we use pre-exist method, we would have difficulty in retrieving knowledge information effectively. In this paper, we propose a new feature extraction method to classify mass documents using association rule based on unsupervised learning technique. In experiment, we show the efficiency of suggested method by extracting features and classifying of documents.

In conventional geographic mapping system, it is needed to input many already existing geographic map into computer system for secure and efficient maintence. Because of large map data, it is required to construct layers from map image for easy display, fast retreval and efficient storage. Thus this paper represents a method of the extracting features from contour map and constructing three layers. The layers are symbol, building, contour line. Experimental results are presented confirming the method's high extraction.

This paper concentrates on an experimental results on visual only recognition tasks using an image transform approach and HMM based recognition system. There are two approaches for extracting features of lipreading, a lip contour based approach and an image transform based one. The latter obtains a compressed representation of the image pixel values that contain the speaker's mouth results in superior lipreading performance. In addition, PCA(Principal component analysis) is used for fast algorithm. Finally, HMM recognition tasks are compared with the another.

Using computer picture processing, a method of extracting the region of a car number plate is described. A modified Hough transformation, in which parameter plane is restricted, is proposed. The demerits of Hough transformation, i.e., it requires much computation time and storage capacity, are reduced by this method. Further, taking the features of a car number plate into consideration, the region of a car number plate is extracted.
